                   able information: his field, his specialty, and what he offers an employer.


                               Ms. Sylvia McCormack
                               President
                               McCormack Recruiting Co.
                               5 Liberty Circle
                               Sacramento, CA 09876
                               Dear Ms. McCormack:
                                                                                                 Excellent
                               In today’s difficult economy, you undoubtedly receive hundreds of resumes from
                               people seeking employment. However, you have built a career on the ability to  opening
                               recognize marketable talents, which I possess—in-depth experience, focused  for
                               expertise, flexibility, adaptability, commitment, and a highly effective  recruiter
                               management style.                                                 letter

                               My current employer’s economic health makes it advisable for me to seek a
                               new situation as soon as possible. I am therefore taking the liberty of forwarding
                               my resume for your review.
                                   My specific niche is the design and implementation of new
                                   technology for electrical subsystems, but I can contribute effectively
                                   within a variety of engineering environments.
                                   My background, professional experience, and work style equip me to
                                   offer a rare overview of the field along with a profound grasp of
                                   project details. This mix is unusual among professionals in my field,
                                   and it is essential to the employer actively seeking innovative
                                   solutions in emerging technologies.
                               I look to your expertise for assistance in my search and will call you early next
                               week to see whether we can schedule a meeting. I thank you in advance for
                               your consideration.

                               Sincerely,


                               Todd Wychowsky
